More Ruminations

So everyone on Capitol Hill is bracing early for another Debt Ceiling increase.

Here’s my question: If we don’t stop out of control spending today, tomorrow or in six months, when do we stop?

Go ahead, I’ll wait.

………………………………..........................

Let me get this straight. Every member of Congress just voted NO to Obama’s budget submission. But every Democrat will vote For him for president, because he represents the leadership they believe in.

Still waiting.

……………………………….......................................

More getting straight…..Romney flip-flops, Obama “evolves”. Go figure.

Crickets.

……………………………….........................................

Recently Nancy Pelosi declared that John Boehner was “immature and irresponsible”. We can only hope that Mr. Boehner will respond as Nancy being a, “mentally detached loon and Botox laden douche bag”.

………………………………..........................................

I see that the Lockerbie Bomber has died in Libya. You know it had to happen eventually. Now we’ll see how long it takes Obama to take credit for it.

………………………………...........................................

Late night comedians are beginning to make jokes about Obama. Probably because they really write themselves.

………………………………..............................................

Arizona says it will not put Obama on the ballot until he can prove he was born in Hawaii. To do that he has to call his wife, his college publicist and Harvard Law Review liars. 

Romney for Idiots

Failing to grasp the concept of Mitt ’the RINO’ Romney becoming president, perhaps it would be instructive to take a look at his first term in office.

If you believe our National Debt will go down under Romney, during his first term, you’re an idiot.

If you believe Romney‘s ‘Supply Side Economics’ alone will get America out of the ditch, you’re an idiot.

If you believe the tens of thousands of Obama’s punitive regulations will be repealed under Romney, you’re an idiot.

If you believe Romney will turn over any Federal power to the states, you’re an idiot.

If you believe Romney will call for criminal prosecution of Eric Holder, for conspiracy and complicity in 'Fast and Furious', you’re an idiot.

If you believe Romney will tell the under-funded union pensions, both public and private, they will have to deal with their problems without a taxpayer bailout, you‘re an idiot.

If you believe Romney will rebuild the missile shield, that Obama has been dismantling, to protect Eastern Europe, you’re an idiot.

If you believe Mr. Romney will stop the Muslim’s ‘Sharia’ takeover of America, you’re an idiot.

If you believe Mr. Romney will NOT bailout failing States, you‘re an idiot.

And last but not least, if you believe Romney won’t start campaigning for 2016 minutes after he takes the Oath of Office, you’re an idiot.

We Are So Screwed

　

Lying Liars

Let’s see, Roger Clemens lies to Congress about using Human Growth Hormones, while Nancy Pelosi lies to the country about being briefed on waterboarding by the CIA.

Tell a lie to 435 professional liars and you lose millions and face jail time.

But tell a lie, over and over, to 330 million Americans, and you gain millions in net worth, while remaining first in line to be Speaker of the House and quite possibly third in line to be president.

Of course this only bothers those who don't lie.

Smelling a Rat

Dumbplumber is really steamed at all the accolades and cheering for the newer cars, the accessories, the performance, the fuel efficiency and the emissions, oh my.

However, there is a reason Dumbplumber has four pickups over 40 years old and two others over 30 years old….. parts. I can buy every part, piece and assembly of my 40 year old trucks from a catalogue. I can even upgrade my engines and transmissions to the more efficient designs and still be compliant.

Try to do that with a 1989 Ford, Chevy or Dodge. (I won’t even talk about the 15 year old, worthless rice grinders, fighting refrigerators and washing machines everywhere, for lawn space) Accessory parts, smog components and most trim pieces are virtually unavailable for most of them, unless you own a wrecking yard (Oops, I meant recycling center).

And as an added bonus, I can license and insure four of these trucks for less than one new truck capable of the same tasks as mine. So explain to me again how I save money buying a new one.

Our exalted leader is working on that though. He is trying to sideline about 2/3rds of America’s vehicles by upping the ethanol in our gasoline, thereby removing older cars and trucks from the roads. I believe he believes that by default we will have to buy new vehicles and support Obama Motors Inc.

He may have gotten away with handing unions hundreds of billions of our money. He may have gotten away with ObamaCare. He may have gotten away with campaign fraud. But if anyone believes he will get away with shutting down the Hot Rod hobby, they are sadly mistaken. Nothing sounds better than a fire breathing V8 in the morning. And nothing smells better than nitro on a Sunday afternoon.

But when I drive by thousands of otherwise perfectly good vehicles disabled by lack of parts or unrepairable emissions systems, I smell a Rat.

Flying Stupid

So the president flies 7,000 miles to roust a few hundred soldiers out of bed, to give them a campaign speech. Trouble with that is, they can’t vote, because our government hasn’t figured out a way to let them do what millions of other citizens do every election cycle, vote absentee.

And, uh, oh yeah, Obama also signed a contract (read as agreement) to pay Hamid Karsai $2 billion a year, of our money, to allow us to bring Afghanistan into the 19^th Century.
